Blake Lively Faces Criticism Over Pregnancy Comments

Blake Lively is facing backlash for comments made during a 2014 interview where she joked that pregnancy cravings are a 'lie,' a remark that has resurfaced on TikTok and sparked outrage among women who feel it diminishes the struggles of pregnancy. In the clip, Lively humorously claimed that pregnant women exploit their cravings to get what they want, which many social media users interpreted as tone-deaf and reflective of her privileged lifestyle. This controversy comes amidst a rumored feud with her 'It Ends With Us' co-star Justin Baldoni, which insiders suggest complicates the chances of a sequel film due to their ongoing animosity. Critics accuse Lively of being flippant while promoting the serious themes of the movie, adding to public frustration regarding her demeanor. Despite her attempts to clarify that she was joking, the backlash has continued, with many sharing their own difficult pregnancy experiences in response. The video, now viewed over 8.6 million times, has intensified discussions around celebrity comments and their impact on public perception of pregnancy.
